<h2>Class Operations</h2>

	<p>The operations on <code>MonoClass*</code> allow you to
	query a number of properties of a .NET class from the C API.

	<p>This page contains information
	for <a href="#class-getting">how to obtain a MonoClass*</a>,
	how to <a href="#class-work">probe for different
	features of a MonoClass*</a> and APIs
	to <a href="#class-members">access class members</a> and 
	<a href="#class-fields">access fields</a>.   To access
	methods, see the <a href="mono-api-methods.html">method
	documentation API</a>.

<h3>Getting a MonoClass</h3>

	<p>You typically would obtain a <code>MonoClass*</code>
	pointer by using a combination of the <code>MonoImage*</code>
	where the type is located, the namespace and name using the
	<code><a href="api:mono_class_from_name">mono_class_from_name</a></code>
	or
	the <code><a href="api:mono_class_from_name_case">mono_class_from_name_case</a></code>
	APIs or by using
	the <code><a href="api:mono_class_from_typeref">mono_class_from_typeref</a></code>
	or <code><a href="api:mono_class_from_typeref">mono_class_from_typeref_checked</a></code>
	methods.

	<p>For low-level access, you can get the <code>MonoClass
	*</code> from an image and an ECMA type token relative to
	the <code>MonoImage*</code> by using <a href="api:mono_class_get">mono_class_get</a>.
